If you read chapter 5 in Catching Fireflies it's the same ;) lol just needed to start off the story. Enjoy! And review...

Bryce dropped his leather bag onto the floor next to the door. He shut the door behind him and made his way into the living room. Running a hand through his hair he looked around for signs of life. "Ems?" he called and glanced over to the kitchen. There on the table was a piece of paper; Bryce- went out to do errands… sorry I wasn't home when you arrived. Can't wait to hear about the trip… ~Emma xo He nodded and turned to the refrigerator grabbing the milk carton. He sat at the table for a while swirling the milk around the glass and listening to the wall clock tick behind him. He was anxious. He hadn't been with his wife in a week and he couldn't stand it. It was practically pulling him apart.

"Bryce?" He looked up with tears in his eyes… "Bry are you crying?" She ran over and hugged his head under her breasts.

"I-I missed- you" he sighed and laid his head on the table.

"Wow…" Emma said closing her eyes; "I wasn't expecting this" she gave an awkward laugh and sat next to him pulling on his hair softly.

"I know" he said "we had a rough week"

"I guess" she scoffed

"We couldn't come up with any good data for paper sales and all I could do was sit there with incompetent people!"

"How is Eden?" Emma smiled changing the subject purposely

"He was so uneasy. During his presentation of a new section his phone went off and he just went running!"

"Why?" Emma said raising an eyebrow

"He was worried about Rose and the kids" Bryce explained looking out the window, "Hasn't left them for that long and he was really nervous about Rose being able to control it all with it being the end of her pregnancy and all"

"I could see that" Emma said running her fingers along the table. "Kendall is getting big…"

"He is- 6 almost 7. Time goes by"

"It does… fast"

"Yeah…" Bryce said almost awkwardly he studied Emma. She was biting her lip and pulling on her fingers, "Are you o…"

"I'm pregnant" Emma said looking up quickly and then looking back down.

"What?" he whispered and just sat there holding his glass tightly, "I'm sorry… this is… wow" He stood up then and did and little skip over to her. Grabbing at her forearms with a light grip and looking into her eyes then down to her stomach. "I love you" he said bewildered and Emma laughed wiping her eyes of stray tears.

"I love you too" He helped her up off the chair and directed her into his arms.

"I am never going back to the Capitol with Eden ever again" he said finally smelling her familiar lavender smell.

"Don't say that" she sighed in frustration, "he needs you there for support. Now you at least know how it will feel for him" Bryce groaned with anger

"How is he even able to go? I don't think I'll even be able to stand leaving you for a day"

"You've already have left me for a day and you're fine" she giggled.

"It's different now" he glared

"How so?" she said calmly brushing her fingertips along his neck.

"It's not just you. It will be you in a whole new scary environment all by yourself!" He cried and stepped away from her to pace.

"Babe… that won't be for a while now… so by then I'll be more comfortable with my pregnancy"

"That's what Rose said," Bryce said "but Eden was still very much on edge- I saw his feet almost slip off once or twice"

"You'll be fine" Emma soothed, "now let's go tell the rents!" She cried and grinned

"How long have you known about this?" he asked raising an eyebrow, Emma smiled sheepishly now.

"A few days…" she said looking down at the wood floors.

"I know you're lying" he laughed and rolled his eyes.

"Yeah it's been driving me insane but I was so worried! I didn't know what you would say or what anyone would say so I asked Rose. So Rose knows but I was practically dying to tell you and the others by the time you got home. I just had to go talk to Rose"

"That was your 'errands'?" Bryce smiled and threw an arm over her shoulders, "Your parents first mine second"

"Actually were having dinner at your Mom and Dad's so everyone is going to be there"

"Handy" Her husband said and stalked off in the direction of his shoes, "let's go to dinner then!" The house was as always, crowded. Eden and Rose's children Kendall, Robin, and Wyatt were all over the place. Pretty much the whole neighborhood was there carrying paper plates all over the house and mingling in small groups.

"This isn't handy" Emma whispered and grew pale as she glanced around.

"No not handy at all—guess we will have to wait until dessert"

"Uncle Bryce!" His eldest nephew yelled and ran over his blond hair flying everywhere and his smile growing wider at the second.

"Kendall!" He screamed and threw him over her shoulder and running off into the house.

"He'll be a wonderful father" Rose said coming up behind her with a twinkle in her eye.

"Of course" Emma smiled turning towards her pregnant best friend and sister-in-law. They hugged quickly and dispersed into her husband's childhood home looking for some entertainment. As people were leaving Bryce grabbed Emma's elbow and directed her towards the back rooms of the house. "Bryce" she whispered and narrowed her eyes.

"My mom knows I think…" he said rubbing his forehead.

"How?" Emma pressed resting a hand on his chest.

"I don't know it must just be a mother thing"

"I doubt my mom would ever guess" Emma laughed and looked over at the party leaving.

"We'll just see"

"I TOLD YOU, MADGE" Katniss grinned jumping up from the table and pointing a finger at her friend.

"I know!" Madge screamed and beamed hugging her son with all her might.

"Wait… Mom… You guessed that I was pregnant?!" Emma said with wide eyes as her hands clutched her Dad's plaid flannel shirt.

"How could I not- you got weird and didn't talk to us for like three days"

"Congratulations" Eden beamed and held Rose tightly to him, "this is the best present you'll ever get" he said to Bryce, "you'll see"

"I know" Bryce said kissing Emma softly, "I know"

Seriously. Review.
